fullscreen
10 TopicsPlease provide the means to hide default Fullscreen UI (black exit button)
So I am building an extension that essentially leverages power of chrome.windows API. I am Windows user, common sense, my browser of choice to test the extension is everyone's beloved Microsoft Edge (hereinafter – MS Edge). The purpose of extension is to provide Window controls overlay when user is in Fullscreen mode. As you can see in the demo, my extension duplicates with default-provided Fullscreen mode UI such as the black exit ( X ) button, the one that I'd like to hide – for that I can consider at least two possible scenarios : as a developer I could achieve this via edge://flags/#edge-enable-shy-ui as an end-user I would like to have ability control Shy UI over MS Edge Settings/Appearance Worth to mention that I enter a Fullscreen via aforementioned chrome.windows API, not via Fullscreen API, so the following is effortless : .requestFullscreen({ navigationUI: "hide" }) We all want to make Microsoft Edge better: just like any software which comes with defaults also should provide means to customize, not most of it, but every aspect of its UI. Thank you.Solved1.2KViews0likes2CommentsTaskbar peek in fullsreen mode
Edge chromium currently hides the taskbar in fullscreen mode. User has to press Win + T or Win keys every time to display taskbar while in fullscreen. When being fullscreen taskbar should be visible when the mouse is brought down near the taskbar. Edge legacy had this feature. Kindly work on it. I am attaching a screenshot from the deg legacy.6.5KViews9likes7Comments[macOS] awful menubar behavior in fullscreen mode
Hi together, I guess I can speak for all macOS Users that we are pissed about the behavior of the menubar when going in fullscreen mode on Edge. Few months ago I thought, I'll just try to ignore it till it gets fixed, but this fix never came and that's why I'm here :D. It's not really a huge problem but the animation just looks rough, the placement of everything looks bootleg and that behavior doesn't make any sense at all, especially because edge is the only mac app that has this problem. (I guess it's just a bug, and nobody made the effort to fix it yet.) I attached images to this thread in case y'all don't know what I'm talking about. btw: I would have no problem to fix it by myself, does microsoft has anything like a community place where you can post code proposals?473Views1like0CommentsFullscreen F11 not respecting (⊞ Win+ ← or →) for splitting view to left/right side of screen
Edge in fullscreen mode (F11) does not seem to respect window keyboard shortcuts: ⊞ Win +← or → to align the window to the corresponding side of the screen, tiled vertically. I know it's not a window. but most other native Windows apps supports this, including a .net Framework 2.0 WPF fullscreen app I have to deal with. In latter case it by default takes full screen (no taskbar or anything) so dragging it to side of screen for split screen won't work. But when pressing ⊞ Win+ → it will take half the screen to the left (and taskbar) The goal here is to be able to let Edge take 50% of the screen without showing Edge tool/url/status-bars which it does usually when in window mode (and I'd like not to change that when used in window mode). Side Note: I did not check if it respects other window shortcuts like: ⊞ Win+↑ maximizes the active window. ⊞ Win+↓ restores the default window size and state of the active window, if maximized. Otherwise, minimizes the active window. ⊞ Win+⇧ Shift+← or → to move the window to the next or previous monitor, if multiple monitors are used. ⊞ Win+↑+← through ⊞ Win+↓+→ to align a window snapped to the right or left to the corresponding quadrant of the screen. Side Note2: Never found a key combination for horizontally screen split in Windows.

From many days I am seeing that sometimes when I try to enter fullscreen mode on YouTube, a weird thing occurs, the browser does not go to fullscreen mode, stays in windowed mode and the video shows a very weird resolution which appears to be a square on the screen. I have also sent feedback about this issue through the in-app feedback tool (Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge.Solved24KViews12likes40CommentsMissing Full Screen Browser UI and PDF UI
Deleted posinha The windowed mode controls are appearing in full-screen mode and aren't working either. The full-screen controls instead should be like. Also for the PDF toolbar the options must appear like Here in this legacy pdf toolbar, there are full-screen option and page view option which is missing in current edge browser. It will be polished if the above features are made available.1.6KViews3likes3CommentsPainted Full screen Browser controls
Deleted MissyQ posinha Just updated the canary to version 85.0.563.0 and when I did full screen the browser, I was shocked. This is how the new browser controls look. And this is how the legacy browser controls look. Please make the controls look like edge legacy. The middle button is abnormally large. More of it, chromium edge browser controls are simply drawn and not real window browser controls. They are just simulated to act as browser controls by taking mouse click events in the area as input. I got to know all this when the browser controls were simply static and not getting focussed on mouse hover. Suggestion: You are developing a polished browser, and these painted controls won't simply be appealing. Also, this would hurt the performance of the browser. You are using desktop API right. Instead, you could have used window controls in full-screen mode with just the middle button changed to toggle button. Please take note of this and change these buttons from painted to actual buttons. Why do you take the overhead of handling input and focus? Even Mozilla firefox has real window controls in full-screen mode.719Views2likes0CommentsFullscreen Dropdown doesn't have a close and minimize button
The Enable Fullscreen Dropdown button is a very good feature but lacks certain improvements which needs to be published. Every time when I want to close the browser when it is already full screen, I first had to toggle fullscreen. Then I had to close the browser. Also there is no minimize button, both these features were there in edge classic. Kindly add these. Also when certain HTML elements such as video elements or frames are made fullscreen using the attribute fullscreen, the fullscreen dropdown doesn't appear instead traditional circled x appears. Such as when youtube videos are made full screen using fullscreen button on videos, the dropdown doesn't appear. Kindly make these minimize and close button available in fullscreen dropdown. These too was present in edge legacy. Lastly, the fullscreen dowpdown activation area in fullscreen mode and pdf toolbar activation area in fullscreen mode coincide, which makes it impossible to use pdf toolbar in fullscreen mode when using dropdown. This too was present in edge legacy.6.7KViews3likes11CommentsEdge problem with full screen mode (a.k.a) --kiosk mode
From Edge Version 79.0.309.68 All the way to Version 81.0.396.0 canary, they have this problem. when I use this switch/command on the target of Edge shortcut: "--kiosk" (without quotes) I do get to launch Edge in full screen mode, but there is no way to interact with the toolbar anymore, neither is there any way to close Edge, other than pressing Windows key to show the taskbar. Edge Canary and Dev have this flag: #edge-enable-shy-ui More info here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/finally-here-the-real-full-screen-experience-in-edge-insider/m-p/1011888 and you can see how it behaves in fullscreen mode with that flag. but when kiosk mode is used, that behavior doesn't work anymore.16KViews1like2Comments
